 "No Creek1" Lee came into the trading-post on the following morning, and found Gale3 attending store as if nothing unusual had occurred.
 
"Say! What's this about you and Stark5? I hear you had a horrible run-in, and that you split him up the back like a quail6."
 
"We had a row," admitted the trader. "It's been a long time working out, and last night it came to a head."
 
"Lord-ee! And to think of Ben Stark's bein' licked! Why, the whole camp's talkin' about it! They say he emptied two six-shooters at you, but you kept a-comin', and when you did get to him you just carved your initials on him like he was a bass-wood tree. Say, John, he's a goner, sure."
 
"Do you mean he's—passing out?"
 
"Oh no! I reckon he'll get well, from what I hear, though he won't let nobody come near him except old Doc; but he's lost a battle, and that ends him. Don't you savvy8? Whenever a killer9 quits second best, it breaks his hoodoo. Why, there's been men laying for him these twenty years, from here to the Rio Grande, and every feller he ever bested will hear of this and begin to grease his holster; then the first shave-tail desperado that meets him will spit in his eye, just to make a name for himself. No, sir! He's a spent shell. He's got to fight all his battles over again, and this time the other feller will open the ball. Oh, I've seen it happen before. You killed him last night, just as sure as if you'd hung up his hide to dry, and he knows it."
 
"I'm a peaceable man," said Gale, on the defensive10. "I had to do it."
 
"I know! I know! There was witnesses—this dress-maker at the fort seen it, so I hear."
